I have done quite a lot of research in architectural journals looking into modern architecture. Specifically to try and locate similar design trends as I found in the Royal Alexandra Childrens Hospital.

I have learnt through my research that most modern architecture is following similar ideas such as the mixture of different materials such as metals, wood, brick, paneled cladding and glass to add texture, colour and interest.

In contrast older buildings constructed purely in brick begin to look heavy and oppressive.

This is the only other article I managed to find in any journal which mentioned the Royal Alexandra childrens hospital. despite winning an award for its excellent design it is barely mentioned.

This is an article I found on the company during my research in the Architectural Journals.
The building in the picture seems to be another typical BDP design characterised by the mixture of lots of different materials and textures as well as many small windows scattered across the facades.
